dition. She told me that during. the
winter she did a splendid business hir-
ing out sealskins for dollar, or plush
coats for 80 cents. She buys them at
the pawn shops, all except some of the
high-priced wedding gowns. That first
one she showed us she had made to
order. But think what sad thing it is
for some young girl who is forced to
pawn her wedding dress, and then to
have that dress bought by this woman,
who hires it out by the night.
''She told me that could hire any
thing-SlipperS, shoes, stockings, every
thing. Why, she told me some girls
actually rent their entire outfit from
her-even down to the finest lace hand
kerchief and, and-other things.
When their husbands ask how they
managed to have so much lace and silk
in their outfit. they tell theEa that love
had helped them to save for the futures
sake. Some girls buy their things grad
ually by paying her on inStallments,
but most of them return their trOusseau
at the end of the first month She rents
them out for from S15 to S35 or $40. Of
course she makes lots of money. She
has plenty of cuStOmerS-girls whose
fathers cannot give them money enough
to put on the style they want. You men
ought to feel fiattered to think of the
means we poor girls resort to to look
pretty for your sakes."
CandOr cOmpels the confession that
there are hundreds of young men dud-
ing it daily on Broadway whose hand
some clothes are obtained in just the
same way. A natty spring suit for an
afternoons promenade means 81,

can even be had for so 0cents. The aver
age youth, whose weekly stipend is So

The Army in 1892.
Washington Star.


Ma. .R.H. Hall. twenty-second Infantry,

printed for private distribution a regis
ter of the United States army for Jan.

been received at the war department,
and eXciteS considerable interest Mai.
Gen. st. Claire was then general-in-
chief. The army then consisted of one
battalion of artillery and two regiments
of infantry, and but eighty-two officers,
ten of whom were artillery officers.
The monthly pay to the major

monthly salary of S625. For clothing
each man was entitled to receive annu-
ally hat or helmet, l coat, vest, 2
pairs wOolen or linen overalls, pairs
shoes, shirts, 2 pairs socks. blanket,
stock and clasp, and 1 pair buckles.
I he daily ration consisted of pound of

Manufacturing Opium in Florida.

Titusville Star.
We take pleasure in welcoming to the
river DR.. W. w. Winthrop, of st. Paul,
Mimi. This gentleman has travelled
widely. and is keen observer of what
he met with in his travels. His primary
object in coming to the state is to en-
courage the growth of the poppy and
the manufacture of opium. His eXpe-
rience in this branch of production is of
fifteen years standing, and he has.
grown the poppy successfully in the
East Indies, Persia, Germany, France
and in the Levant, while on the Ameri-
can continent he has experimental in
Massachusetts,, New York, Illinois,
Iowa, Minnesota, Dakota and Florida.
The plant grows everywhere, but
best of all in Florida, producing large
bulbs and capsules. The difficulty of
hitherto producing opium in the
United States successfully has been the
high wages paid to labor. DR.. Win
throp has invented plan, however, by
which opium can be produced here
better and cheaper than in India, where
the average wages are 10 cents day,
and the cultivation is so perfect by his
method that sixteen plants can be made
to produce an ounce of opium. The
gentleman assures us that at the present
price of the drug net revenue of 1000
per acre is an exceedingly moderate
estimate. Every orange grove can be
laid out between the trees with this
plant, and the demand for the same at
good prices is illimitable. An English
syndicate of capitalists is going into the
cultivation of the poppy largely on In
dian river, and DIR. Winthrop is pros
pecting and perfecting the arrange
ments of the company. The poppy will
grow and ripen every month in the year.
and thus, doubtless, another large
source of wealth will shortly be added
TO Indian river.

Mock Modesty.

New Orleans Letter.
A pitiful case of this mock mOdesty
occurred right here at home last week.
One afternoon party of young ladies
and gentlemen went out sailing on the
lake. A Squall came up, and as they
were fastening in to shore they were
hailed by some gentlemen whose boat
had capSiZed. and who, in danger of
drowning, were clinging for life to its
slippery sides. 1t seems that these
young men had been out for deep sea
bath and were consequently nude,
Owing to the storm they had been in
the water for a long time, and one of the
number was seized with cramps and his
alarmed companions thought he would
die before help came. Now any
ten-year-old child who has ever
tucked up its pantalets and gone
wading in a creek knows that a
person being in the water and seized
with cramps will probably die if not
rescued. AS the yacht came up to the
distressed bathers they explained the
situation to those on her and begged that
the sick man might be taken aboard and
a boat sent from West End to their own
relief But the mOck-mOdest young la
dies giggled and blushed, and | dare say
peeped between the sticks of their fans,
WIllle NOWlnS ana declaring JldC Uncy
couldn't think of such thing. They
giggled again, but did not think to look
the other way and expressed themselves
as Mortified at the bare idea of rescuing
a nude man from death. They had no
thought for the suffering of the grOaning
young fellow down in the water being
upheld by his anxious, diSmayed and
exhausted companions. They were too
busy giggling and commenting on the
awfully embarrassing fact that the gen.
tleman who desired to come Oh board
hadn't his wardrobe with him. No,
they would rather he died than be saved
by them in his nude condition, and
finally the yacht, freighted with enough
sham sentiment and mock mOdeSty to
sink to the very bottom in mile deep
of ocean water, sailed off, compromising
between the proprieties and common
humanity by promising to send help
from the West end.
1t was moi the fault of those young
women whoever they were, whatever
they are. that the man they abandoned
did not die before help came, but it is
their fault if some honest men and
modest women had a lesson in sham
purity and pretended innocence and a
diSguSted affectatiOn of superior refine
ment and virtue that they will not soon
forget

Bill Hunton's Wild Ride.

Tombstone "a. To Epitaph.
Bill Hunton, of Bunker Hill district,
was the most frightened man in ten
terrific ries last Tuesday. He was un-
armed. He had been off somewhere,
and had heard nothing of the outbreak.
On arriving at AShley's camp and find
ing it deserted he was surprised, and on
going to the corral he was more than
surprised to find dead mule, which he
thought at first had broken its neck,
but on examination and discovering
that it had been shot, he made an ex-
clamation, Indians. by -!'' He
lan's and Diehl's camp, three
miles distant, to warn them.
Approaching cautiO usly to the house,
he found that deserted and general
state of confusion existing around. On
looking up he discovered several sad
died horses of cowboys hitched to a
tree near by, but did not observe the
cowboys, who, at that m oment, were
digging the grave for poor Diehl, about
block off. He didn't stop on the order
of going, he just simply started as if the
whole Apache nation was after him.
He lit on that horse of his in a twinkling.
The rOwelS of his spurs dug deep fur
rows in the ribs of his Steed, whose blood
was not of the pride of the Baldwin sta
bles, and whose speed was no more than
the honest cart-hOrse, but still he flew
as best he could. Trails had no charms
for him. A cowboy, just observing him
at this time, shouted to him. The sound
was as unmusical as war whoOp of the
entire Indian nation, and he flew. The
cowboy, apprehending the situation,
mounted fleet horse and started in
pursuit. 1t then became race for life
HuntOn never looked back, but he could
hear, and on he sped. The race was
now a gO-aS-yOu-please for two miles
and half, when the cowboy overlook
him and shouted his name just as he
was about to diSmOunt and make fight

To the rose just newly born:
But sweeter voice has cheered me,
At the evenings gentle close;
And I've seen an eye still brighter
Than the dew-drop ON the rose;
Twas thy voice, my gentle Mary,
And thine artless winning smile,
That made this world an Eden,
Bonny Mary of Argyle!
Though thy voice may lose its sweetness,
And thine eye its brightness, too,
Though thy step may lack its fieetness,
And thy hair its sunny hue;
Still to me wilt thou be dearer
Than all the world shall own;

''You have heard, l suppose." he said,

"Ah" recollecting myself. "He was

''And to Spain, too, for that matter:

lam NJ. Evarts, Secretary of State: One
of the devices of FOurcarde which came
within NJ. SilvelO's own knowledge
when in another department of the gov
ernment is so ingenious and amusing as
to be worth recOunting. The French
mans object was to Smuggle petroleum
into Madrid without paying the OctrOl.
To this end he established stOrehOuseS
in the suburbs, and then hiring all the
leanest and least mammalian women
that could be found, he made good all
their physical defects with tin cases
filled with petroleum, thus giving them
what DR.. johnson would have called the
pectoral proportions of Juno. Doubtless
he blasphemed the unwise parsimony
of nature in denying to women i'll gen
eral the multitudinOus breasts displayed
by certain Hindoo idols. For some
time these seemingly milky
mothers passed without question into
the unsuspecting city and supplied
thousands of households with that cheap
enlightenment which cynicS say is worse
than none. Meanwhile NJ. FOurcarde's
pockets swelled in exact proportion to
the Quaker breastwOrkS of the improv-
iSed wet nurses.
Gould he only have been modetate !
Could he only have bethOught him in
time of the ne quid minis, But one fatal
day he sent in damsel whose contours
aroused in one of the guardians at the
gate the same emotions as those of

With the playful gallantry Of d Superior
he tapped the object of his admiration,
and it tinkled! He had struck or un-
